“no one in their right mind would have asked for a formal write up before accepting a promotion” – Who said that you should? I didn’t say to get a formal write up, don’t make up my arguments to try and make yours sound better. The fact is that you didn’t get ANY details about the position change. I think when a boss asks most people if they want more responsibilities, they at least will ask what that would entail. An extra 50 bucks a day to work 60 more hours a week? No thanks. An extra 50 bucks a day to be lunch monitor while on break? Yes please! It’s a job change, I really don’t know a lot of people that accept a new job having no idea what the job is, and even you admitted to being “shocked and dismayed” when you found out your new title. All I’m saying is that you accepted that risk when you accepted a promotion completely in the dark.

Second, I really still can’t believe that you think it’s acceptable missing work because of the train schedule. Yyou think it’s the company’s responsibility that you show up for work? Of course not, that’s absurd. So just because a train breaks down once a week you don’t have to show up for work? By working at a job 2 hours away and commuting via the train you accept that risk as well, it’s your responsibility to show up every day, on time. Maybe if there’s a once a year emergency that’s one thing, but it seems like you were habitually late, and again, just my opinion, but that’s not acceptable.

Well, anyway call me a troll, doesn’t really hurt my feelings. And maybe in even better news, if you ever become a super rich boss I would happily work for you! Showing up late, working from home, not coming in at all and having a boss that won’t mind sounds pretty sweet. Glad to hear things are working out well though!

I understand that J was very lenient with me and I said that I would have been ok had the new time rules been the only change in the job. And as far as leaving earlier for a train, I did try that. I tried everything I could do to be on time but sometimes, the train happens to run over people or break down for hours at a time so it doesn’t really matter which one you take because it holds up ALL trains going into the city.

V made my life miserable and YES, I was angry about picking up lunches and filing V’s folders because I signed up to be an admin, not a bitch. There was nothing productive that came out of my picking up company paid lunches for execs that make six figures a year and can certainly afford their own tabs, THAT’S stealing from the company. You can “troll” on here and tell me that it was my fault for accepting the job and that I should have figured out what my promotion entailed before accepting it but no one in their right mind would have asked for a formal write up before accepting a promotion from their boss. Pardon me for not realizing that promotion meant making pendaflex folders for V’s food stained documents that she couldn’t keep track of and having to get down on my hands and knees and file them while she sat on her duff two feet away from me.

No matter what you say, I’m much happier where I am and I know that when I have an admin or anyone work for me I will never treat them the way I was treated.
